"The organization does not condone anything like that and it will be addressed," Philadelphia coach Maurice Cheeks said. "It's unacceptable for players to come at that time, especially the last game of the season. The fans have supported us all season long in tough situations and for players to come in at 7:05 is unacceptable and it will be addressed."

"I was up in the suite when they got in and at that point I was too irate to even go talk to them," Sixers president Billy King said. "At the point I am right now, I don't feel the need to talk to them. I am pretty irate right now."

Both players did not sit on the bench during the game, choosing to stay in the locker room.

"We as an organization, and they as players, have a responsibility to be on the court, or to be sitting on the bench" King said. "You have my word, if a player is not going to sit on the bench, they will be fined. If they do it more that once then they will be suspended."

"The one thing I harp on is being on time," Cheeks said. "The other thing I harp on is that we should take care of the people that have supported us. It makes me look like I am not in control, which I am. I feel bad not only for myself but I feel bad for our organization."

After three quarters, the Sixers held a 67-65 edge and appeared to take control of the contest following a 10-2 spurt for a 85-75 lead with 4:41 to go.

The Nets answered with a 9-2 burst to pull within 87-84 with just over two minutes remaining. Still holding a 91-88 lead, the Sixers secured the win when Zoran Planinic missed a 3-pointer as time expired.

"We had different combinations with different guys," New Jersey coach Lawrence Frank said. "The shots didn't fall but our guys tried hard. It's a tough spot for a lot of guys. It would have been nice to win, but the big picture is to get ready for the playoffs."

Willie Green had 14 points and Steven Hunter added 10 and seven boards for Philadelphia (37-44), which wrapped up its home schedule with a 23-18 mark.

"Our second team really stepped up today," Hunter said. "This was a great way for us to end our last home game. We really wanted to win this game and go out on a good note."

"You always want to get the last one at home," Sixers forward Kyle Korver said. "The season hadn't gone the way we wanted it to go. You want to end it right and that's what we tried to do."

Lamond Murray scored 19 points and All-Star Vince Carter added 16 in just 19 minutes the Nets (49-32), who were without Jason Kidd and Richard Jefferson.

Carter (1,910 points) surpassed Bernard King (1,909) as the Nets' all-time single-season scoring leader.

"It's a great accomplishment," Carter said. "I didn't want to put too much emphasis on it. My goal tonight since Richard and Jason wasn't playing, was to be a leader on the court. My goal was to bring the energy on the defensive end. I was wanted to do what needed to be done. To break the record is a great accomplishment and honor."
